Non-Faculty Hiring Authorization Process

Effective September 24, 2014, Dr. Mark Hussey, Interim President, accepted the recommendations from the university’s Leadership Steering Committee to the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) consultant report. The previously implemented hiring freeze was replaced by a modified process of requiring justification and approval for all non-faculty positions that are neither paid from restricted funds nor budgeted in academic departments.

FORM: Authorization to Fill Request - Use either of the following:

PDF Paper Form- Complete and print the form then submit it for the approval process to post or fill vacancies.

Electronic DocuSign Form - Complete the requested information, upon completion the electronic form will be routed to the originator for use in posting a position. This form directs the originator to input the department head/manager email and the VP or delegated authority email. This does not allow the form to be routed to anyone else for review or signature. If your internal process requires other reviewers/signatures for approval, you should use the paper form or amend your internal process to include printing the approved form and sending to other reviewers. The electronic signature application used for this form is Docusign and there is a 20 minute time-out to complete the information once the form is initiated.
